Nonlinear correlations of daily temperature records over land
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a near global statistics on the correlation properties of daily temperature records. Data from terrestrial meteorological stations in the Global Daily Climatology Network are analyzed by means of detrended fluctuation analysis. Long-range temporal correlations extending up to several years are detected for each station. In order to reveal nonlinearity, we evaluated the magnitude of daily temperature changes (volatility) by the same method. The results clearly indicate the presence of nonlinearities in temperature time series, furthemore the geographic distribution of correlation exponents exhibits well defined clustering.

Appropriateness of correlated first order auto - regressive processes for modeling daily temperature records
The present study investigates linear and volatile (nonlinear) correlations of firstorder autoregressive process with uncorrelated AR (1) and long-range correlated CAR (1) Gaussian innovations as a function of the process parameter (θ). In the light of recent findings [1], we discuss the choice of CAR (1) in modeling daily temperature records. We demonstrate that while CAR (1) is able to captur...
متن کاملNonuniversal atmospheric persistence: different scaling of daily minimum and maximum temperatures.
An extensive investigation of 61 daily temperature records by means of detrended fluctuation analysis has revealed that the value of correlation exponent is not universal, contrary to earlier claims. Furthermore, statistically significant differences are found for daily minimum and maximum temperatures measured at the same station, suggesting different degrees of long-range correlations for the...
متن کاملAn examination of the effect of landscape pattern, land surface temperature, and socioeconomic conditions on WNV dissemination in Chicago.
This paper developed an approach by the synthesis of remote sensing, landscape metrics, and statistical methods to examine the effects of landscape pattern, land surface temperature, and socioeconomic conditions on the spread of West Nile virus (WNV) caused by mosquitoes and animal hosts in Chicago, USA. Land use/land cover and land surface temperature images were derived from Terra's Advanced ...
متن کاملThe influence of Atlantic-Eurasian teleconnection patterns on temperature regimes in South Caspian Sea coastal areas: a study of Golestan Province, North Iran
The main objective of this study was to reveal the impact of nine climate indices on temperature changes and climate oscillations in Golestan Province along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. Climate indices data from across the Atlantic-Eurasian sector were collected from the NCEP/NCAR, the Climate Prediction Centre (CPC) and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) over a period of 40 years (1971...
